One of the best and brightest

They have well been likened to the

It is true, ail the Spartanburg Her
ald say3, "no newspaper, worthy of

by threats of personal violence or the
execution of these same threats. The
whipping of editors and reporters has

er's policy. If that newspaper has I
been conducted along lines or hones

change it by attacking members of'

The Steel Corporation Sr.it.
The government's suit to dissolve
the United States Steal corporation
marks another and a crucial test of
the Sherman anti-trust law. Wheth
er this statute, as now written and
as recently construed by the supreme
court, sets a just standard for honest
business and provides adequate pro
tection for the country's common in
terests will be made much clearer
than now through the development
and outcome of the present litiga
tion.
The Standard Oil case and that of
the American Tobacco company were
vitally important. But, as the At
lanta Journal says, there is a preva
lent and well-grounded impression
that in each of those Instances the
so-called trust problem was left in
rather a nebulous stage and that the
final word on the great issue involved
yet remains to be said. The sooner
and the more definitely it is said the
better will it be for the business and
the people of this nation.
Under the "rule of reason" ad
vanced by the supreme court in
those two cases there may be good
trusts and bad trusts, combinations
in restraint of trade that are reason
able and others that are unreasonable
despite the fact that the Sherman
anti-trust act as passed by Congress
prohibits all such combinations
or monopolies. Aud so the law
stands in a dubious twilight through
which big business must>grope and
stumble and in which geiflera.1 in
terests must remain uncertain until
principles more definite and trust
worthy can be established.
It is to be hoped that the suit be
gun against the United States Steel
corporation will at least open a way
to the setting up of some such guid
ing standard. The legal battle that
Is to ensue will doubtless be long
drawn 'and will cover every inch of
the now doubtful territory. Of all
the alleged trust3, this concern is
the most gigantic, consisting, as is
claimed, of thirty-seven interlocking
corporations, all of them subject to
one central control, and exerting vast
industrial power. It is important
and urgent that the question involved
in this suit be settled clearly in or
der that present uncertainty may
end.
There is little ground for alarm
that the suit against the steel cor
poration will greatly disturb the
country's business tor any consider
able length of time. It was foreseen
months ago and preparations were
made accordingly. After Friday's
gust of excitement the stock market
has shown a firmer tone. The real
property of the company wili con
tinue to exist, whatever may happen,
and business will move onward.
People Are More Tolerant.
People are getting a great deal
more tolerant than they use to be
about religion as well as politics, but
still there are people whose partisan
ship is so intensely narrow that they
never make allowance, for the con
victions of .others and they stfe, of ten,
'tritnes puzzled at the friendly person
al relations that .exist betweein "men
of radically opposing political views.
Thev have the idea that political or
legal differences must necessarily in
clude personal hostility.
Read of Dickens will recall how
Pickwick gave way to* angry pas
sions when in the famous trial of
Bardie va Pickwick he saw his law
yer and that of the widow laughing
together in most friendly fashion at
dinner and after having attacked
each other in court. So the recent
pleasant amenity displayed by Pris
ident Taft and Mr. Bryar. at a re
cent banquet may have caused some
to shake their heads disapprovingly,
and doubt that there ds really any
difference between these two distin
guished citizens.
Yet a little reflection ought to con
vince any one that political, religious
or other differences ought not to in
terfere with personal friendship.
That frequently it used to in former
days is true, but in this'age of broad
er views and enlightenment bigotry
and narrowness are fast disappear
ing, and people are becoming more
tolerant of one another's views on all
subjects. This will be come more uni
versal as the world advances in edu
cation and corne to understand Chris
tian principle!, better.
A Word of Advice.
One often hears the advice given,
jocularly sometimes, and in deadj
earnest at others, to youn'j people
to marry this or that young man or
this young woman because they may
have money or have good looks.
No young man or young woman ever
made a greater mistake than to base
their choice of a life partner on such
considerations as these. There is
nothing in the moral, spiritual or
physical universe that makes marri
age respectable, but love. Without it
there can be no marriage, only a
wretched, miserable form, that rapid
ly degenerates into a loathsome, de
moralizing burden. The time to mar
ry is when love demands it and not I
simply because the kitchen needs a
cook, the dining table a figure-head
In muslin or silk, or the cucumber
vines somebody to kill the bugs on
them. The one to marry is the wo
man or man you love, and no other
one. That, and that alone should de
cide. Riches may take wings and flee
away; beauty may fade; good health
is a very excellent and desirable
thing in man or woman, but the cir
cumstances of an hour or a moment
may ruin the best of health. A man
who marries form such considera
tions, usually gets what he deserves
?its full equivalent in unhappiness.
A man who marries for beauty,
learns, as no other man can learn,
how hideous and loathsome it may
become. So, young man, or young
woman, take love for your guidance
in this hatter, remembering that it
demands the best and noblest in ~ou
?that is is sa.creo and holy, and di
viue, for it is of God.
He Know Where to Go.
A thin, sickly man entered one of
the stores in one of our small towns
recently and quietly seated himself
on a convenient chair. One of the
clerks approached and asked if he
wished to purchase anything. "On,
no," said tho man, "I just dropped in
for a few minutes." After half an
hour had passed, the manager of the
store, becoming curioua, 'approached
him and asked what could be done
for him. "Why nothing that I know
l of," said the man, "You see I have
nervous prostration and the doctor
told me to stay in a quiet place. No
ticing that you do not advertise 1
thought this would be about the qui
etest place I could find." Let me tell
you it was anything but quiet there
for five minutes. The poor little man
found himself in the street wishing
that he had landed on a feather bed.
But the next week the store surpris
ed itself with a big display "ad" in
I the home paper.

Mobile, Ala.?"I suffered for ieven
years, with womanly trouble," writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from
this city. "I felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardui.
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me I am looking better than he ever
saw me."
If you are Bick and miserable, and
suffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble?try Cardui. ?
Cardui is successful because It Is
composed of Ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman

For more than fifty years, It has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells it

ARE YOU MIXED
On Buying a Suit and Over
Coat for Yourself or Boy?
?
It's pretty hard to know what to do, isn't it, when every
clothier in town has "the best at the lowest price" and
all "give satisfaction" and "monej back?" Anc all
beat the tailor to pieces, and "save you a half to a th i d,"
and all that. It comes down to the question of faith
in somebody. Is there
ONE STORE
in Oran^eturg that has been conspicuously faithful for
many years, whether it sold you a Collar Button, a Hat,
Suit of Clpthes, or whatever it was? Is there
ONE STORE
in town that usually does more than if says? Is there
ONE STORE .
in town whose buyers want and demand the best?
Is there?
ONE STORE
in town that has made prices lower? Is there
ONE STORE
in town that has built up standards all through its busi
